What Causes The Constant Urge To Clear The Throat?
I have a constant feeling of wanting to clear my throat. Sometimes I feel like there are small bumps on my throat that make it hard to swallow but when scraped there is a feeling of relief. Recently have had a runny nose swollen earlobes and couching up clear mucus. When I take deep exhales I feel discomfort and couch phlegm. I am a 38 yr old male in good physical shape. I do suffer from chronic sinus infections and teeth pain.
